Home invader chopped, hospitalised
A young man known as Gobind, of Onderneeming, West Coast Berbice, is nursing chop wounds at the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was chopped about his body when he reportedly removed the window pane and unlawfully entered a house through the very window.
According to reports, about 20:30 hours last Friday, family members of well known butcher called Chan, of Armadale, West Coast Berbice, were at home when they had cause to investigate an unusual sound coming from a section of the upper flat of their two-storied building.
The confronted Gobind was chopped even as his accomplices made their escape. He was taken to the Fort Wellington Hospital and later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The police have since taken two men into custody, as they continue their investigation.
